Vox.com is looking for a weekend editor to join our team. This editor will be responsible for guiding the site’s coverage and managing a recurring weekend writer each Saturday and Sunday. The ideal candidate will have a deep interest in politics, policy, and world news, but will also be comfortable assigning and editing stories that center on identity, science, health, and culture. Our weekend the team may need to explain democratic backsliding in Europe one weekend; the next, how a natural disaster is affecting the residents of a given state; the next the ways a given Democratic state is navigating the end of Roe; and the next the fallout of a massive breaking news event — anything from a mass shooting to a peace deal. The work is often fast paced — speed, accuracy, and flexibility are important: Our weekend team is the first to respond to major news that breaks on weekends. This is a part-time position that requires working full days (8 am ET to 5 pm ET) on weekends.
